The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), for recording the economic and financial operations of companies worldwide, makes a great difference in the usefulness and applicability of accounting information. Before this process, the Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros of Ecuador, has published resolutions for the gradual application to IFRS since 2009. The transition period began in 2010 and ended in 2012. The research analyzed the effects caused to the Net Worth in a group of Ecuadorian companies based on the Positive Theory of Accounting. This analysis determined that the most affected financial accounts in the Process of transition to Property were Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Obligations with Non-Current Financial Institutions.
